Nice hike for doing with kids! I learned about this hike from John Pint's book and took my nieces with me. They loved the Agua Blanca trail and the hanging bridge. Just note that the phone number for UMA Agua Blanca has changed: it's 386-109-6160 (don't even bother calling the number stated in the book). Important to call if you are going in the middle of the week.
